Tazendra makes a gorgeous guard for those presents! And that peacock tree is so very pretty in spite of it's bit of tackiness. I love peacock feathers. Our neighbor had a couple for a few years when I was little and I so enjoyed wandering through our yard finding the feathers. They made a great show and tell for a 3rd grader.

You're quite right, it should be tacky. At least if you're going for a fun tree. If you are wanting something formal, then tacky is not the way to go, but a good fun tree should be tacky. I can't wait to get my own. I have my little mini tree, but I only put mini plastic balls, bows and garland on it.
Their screeches... oh dear God... Peacocks have no sense of timing. 3 AM was their favorite time to start up. I was terrified for the longest time until I figured out what it was, then it just annoyed me. They have them roaming free around the grounds at Cardiff Castle. When I was there almost 2 years ago now, one came up behind me and screamed, I about died. It had been so long since I'd heard that sound. It took me a minute to figure out it was the damned bird!

I would have LOVED to live near peacocks! How cool would that have been?
I'd love to have some someday, but damn, is their screaming LOUD.

Yeah...if you want to hear screaming through the walls at 6 a.m., that's what redneck neighbors are for.
